A geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse forms, with smooth corners and consistently heavy, even strokes. The overall construction favors squared counters and flat terminals, producing a compact, blocky silhouette while keeping curves soft and controlled. Proportions are steady and highly regular, with a tall x-height and wide, open apertures that help shapes stay clear at larger sizes. Numerals and uppercase share the same rounded-square logic, giving the set a cohesive, modular rhythm.
Best suited for headlines, logotypes, product branding, and display copy where its chunky superellipse geometry can be a defining visual element. It also fits interface labels, dashboards, and signage that benefit from high-impact, simplified letterforms and consistent, rounded-square construction.
The tone is modern and engineered, leaning toward a sci‑fi or digital UI feel without becoming decorative. Its soft-square geometry reads confident and utilitarian, projecting a practical, tech-forward character that feels suited to systems, signage, and product interfaces.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary geometric voice with a distinctive rounded-square skeleton—combining the solidity of a squared grotesk with softened corners for a more approachable, modern finish. It prioritizes visual consistency and strong silhouettes for clear, attention-grabbing typography.
Several letters emphasize squareness in bowls and counters (notably rounded-rect O/Q/0-style forms), and the overall spacing looks generous enough to keep dense text from clogging despite the heavy stroke weight. The design’s uniform curves and flattened joins create a strong sense of consistency across caps, lowercase, and figures.
